- Aircraft Manufacturing procedures are very critical and always required skillful engineer who need to follow different process and procedure during daily work. The challenge is not only to identify right tools and manuals but also to keep track of operator usage data and behavior. With Augmented reality, intelligent tools, and analytics we can provide a new lease of life to first-line assembly engineers. The objective is how AR can help us to reduce rework or scrap with the concept of Industry 4.0 were integrating with cutting edge technologies like machine learning, and the Internet of things to meet the fundamental requirements during manufacturing. Smart Manufacturing consists of four major components Cyber-physical systems, IoT, Cloud computing, and Cognitive computing. Integrating AR with IoT our objective is to achieve Cyber-physical systems connectivity and fill the gap between the smallest physical assets to be connected with digital infrastructure. It can help us to Increase manufacturing throughput, make tools Intelligent, Accelerate training, Inventory management, and most important operator safety. By providing optimized step-by-step work instructions and verifying each step with machine vision help us to achieve quality of a product. This AR application can be tablet-based, or headset based, and content can be accessible globally. At the end it’s not a technology that lies in the visualization process only, it’s about how data are visualized, captured, and utilize to make the working environment safe and productive, which makes this technology powerful in manufacturing ecosystem.
